NOTES AND COMMENTS.
"EvERYBoDY and his wife iubilant
at the fine weather." is local note
in an Auckland paper. Do not talk
to us about the New Zealand climate
after that !
"WHEN a man is twenty-five he
knows something; when he is forty
five he wishes he knew something"
So an exchange says, but there are
simpletons of all ages who want to
know, you knowP'
An item in an exchange states that
Queen Victoria is studying Hindus
tani A royal student of languages
at the age of sixty eight is shining
example to the world that one is
never too old to learn.
IT is gratifying to hear from the
planters committee on the manufac-
ture of sugar, that the mills made in
Honolulu give greater satisfaction
than those coming from foreign
workshops. Hurrah for home manu-

RIGHT is right, by whomsoever
done and wrong is nothing else, if
committed by the best of men. But

TIE Royal Humane Society of Aus
tralasia grants medallions annually
for swimming with reference to saw
ing life, for competition at all public

The New York Herald evidently

The young lions are growing
ominously at the parents seeming in
difference to their interests in the
South Pacific. 1t can only be a
matter of time, however, when the
whelps if united can sway the des-
TIMES of all that sea. Australasia will
have "Monroe doctrine" of its own
and maintain it against the world.
A MADRID dispatch of September
26th says rioting is reported from the
Island of Ponape, in consequence of
the expulsion of Protestant mission
aries. The Spanish Governor had
been killed, and many wounded had
taken refuge on Spanish vessel.
1t was further stated that the insurg-
ents were masters of the island, and
two war ships had consequently been
sent to the Caroline Islands.
DISAPPOINTMENT, it seems, only
makes the Scotchman keener for the
cup. Watson is going to design a
steel yacht to be an improvement on
the Thistle, in hope of carrying off
the America cup next year. New
Scotland Nova Scotia), famous
though a little country for clipper
ships on all the seas, is also going tc
build yacht for the contest of 1888.
The press yields to no other calling
in chivalry Several influential Eng
lish and Scotch newspaper propri
etors have offered the use of theil
premises. machinery and staffs, if the
Government should close the Nationa
office in Dublin. Almost any journal

of papers bitterly antagonistic in pol
